NHL Blackhawks @ Hurricanes
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Hurricanes -1.5
Final Score4-3
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Carolina generated the expected shot volume and controlled play as projected, but couldn't convert enough high-danger opportunities against Knight, who delivered the strong goaltending performance we anticipated from Chicago. The process was sound despite the one-goal miss on coverage.

NHL Panthers @ Jets
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 5.5
Final Score2-1
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Our OVER 5.5 pick fell short as Panthers-Jets finished 2-1, with both teams failing to generate the offensive output their underlying metrics suggested. The matchup played out more defensively than expected, with neither team's forechecking or power play creating the anticipated scoring opportunities.

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Oilers -1.5
Final Score6-2
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Despite our sound process identifying Pittsburgh's back-to-back scheduling disadvantage and Edmonton's home-ice edge, the Oilers couldn't capitalize on their opportunities and fell short 6-2. The underlying logic was solid, but execution didn't align with expectations in this instance.

Our Pick
Wild -159
Final Score3-4
Result+1.5u

📊 Recap

Minnesota's rest advantage and defensive structure proved decisive as the Wild secured a 4-3 victory over the fatigued Red Wings, with Gustavsson delivering solid goaltending to support our pre-game thesis about execution levels in divisional play.

NHL Red Wings @ Wild
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
Kirill Kaprizov OVER 0.5 Goals
Final Score8
Result+1.5u

📊 Recap

Kaprizov delivered as expected, finding the net in Minnesota's high-scoring affair against Detroit. The favorable home matchup and Red Wings' back-to-back fatigue created the offensive opportunities we projected for the Wild's top scorer.
